Just An Ordinary Day In Paradise - Drivers' Average Finish At Auto Club

California Speedway or Auto Club Speedway as it is called now has been hosting races since the 1997 Season. It is one of the few tracks that have been around the same time as I have. In recent years it seems that fans have forgotten about the old Auto Club that would be commonly noted as the boringest track on the circuit. The last few years we have seen last lap passes, last lap dramas, and a crash that injured Denny Hamlin. This track used to Host a night race along with a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series but now the Trucks don't and the lights are only used if needed after rain. Below are the Average finishes in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series since February of 2014. It only lists drivers who are entered in this weekend's NSCS Race. Based off of All Drivers.
